Daniel Kelm is a Fricking Genius

So after teaching last week, I decided to try out the other side. Enter Daniel Kelm, Scientific Bookbinding Artist Genius. For the last five days, I have been taking furious notes and reconsidering everything I ever learned about, well, everything. For your consideration, evidence that Daniel Kelm is a Genius.

Despite covering everything in the universe, the course was actually focused on the wire edged binding, a Dan Kelm invention. Below please find evidence of my education. I made a housing for all of my pressure printing materials, so that I, too, can lead informative rock star (but probably not scientist) workshops.

Next week: who knows? I drive away from Wells tomorrow and bid a very fond farewell to Nancy Gil and Katie Baldwin, the new Victor Hammer Fellow. We had a lot of lovely conversations about fellowdom. I was the fellow here from 2008-2011, which meant I wandered into Katie’s office accidentally a couple of times this week. But she forgives me. Right, Katie?

Stay tuned for. . . something? Am I going to Portland? I have no idea.
